        That looks amazing @Alex

        Do you agree that Pappardelle is simply the lazy mans fettuccine? (But is actually preferred)

          Thanks, Jeff

          I suppose it's a little lazier, but I agree it's most definitely preferred. I also prefer wide noodles in Asian food to thinner ones

              Prep done

              Brokedown a chicken to breasts and legs - kept the wings for the stock for a bit of added flavour. Will use the skinless breasts in dinner tonight and freeze the legs

              Cut the carcass and wings into smaller pieces to extract more flavour

              The aromatics

                  6 hours later

                  And dinner: I shredded the chicken breasts which I poached in the stock as it was cooking down into a cold noodle salad

                    Those are some very nice looking dishes you made recently @Alex

                    We made Ramen today… well yesterday and today as it is usually quite time and labour-intensive

                    Chashu (pork shoulder, marinated in shoyu, mirin, sake, ginger, garlic, for 7 hours 100°C in the steamer)

                    Today:

                    Pork/chicken fat+ tarre

                    Noodles

                    Eggs marinated for 24 hours, menma, spinach, shiitake, spring onions, 12 hour chicken broth

                    …and ready

                                          Ottolenghi is amazing. Cake looks great and sounds divine.

                                            Worked my weekend job this Saturday evening and it was a 50th birthday party for a good client of ours. They wanted a 5-course tasting menu with wine pairings. Prepare yourself for too
                                            Many photos of me intensely putting garnish’s on dishes.
                                            1. French onion tart
                                            2. Scallops in shallot buerre blanc with leek fondue
                                            3. Korean pork taco with super slaw
                                            4. Lamb Lafta meatball with cumin tri-color carrots
                                            5. Sliced flank steak over cauliflower rice with cashews, chimichurri and tomato salad.
